The Royal China Company started manufacturing this pattern called ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’ in in the 1950’s. It features authentic reproductions (in a delightful green color) of old-world scenes inspired by the Charles Dickens novel of the same name . They were designed by Gordon Parker and produced in Sebring, Ohio. This collectible Dinnerware has stood the test of time - collected since the 50's and still very popular today.

The Royal China company manufactured several patterns in the mid 20th Century among which are Currier & Ives, The Old Curiosity Ship, Willow Ware and Colonial Homestead. Because they are all a similar style, created from original lithographs, they look great when mixed and matched together.

I have a large collection of pieces in this pattern along with Currier and Ives set that I used together. Check my listings for other pieces.. less
